Resources List

A list of resources has been compiled so that schools are be able to order any necessary texts or other

resources as required before the start of the 2020 academic year. This list can be found on our school’s

website:

https://camdenhave-h.schools.nsw.gov.au/distance-education/single-course-enrolment.html

“It is a requirement for the home school to provide the required support resources e.g. workroom, textbooks,

computer, use of specialist rooms (e.g. laboratory), access to phone and email”

This list is NOT exhaustive. Upon enrolment and during the course, students and supervisors may be advised

that additional resources are required.

Please contact the Faculty Head Teacher on (02) 6556 8200 for further information.

Essential Information about Enrolment

1. The importance of returning work each week

Students enrolled at Camden Haven High School Distance Education must satisfy the NESA requirements for

the award of the Record of School Achievement (RoSA). To meet these requirements students must engage

in learning to meet the course outcomes for the subjects studied.

In order for students to meet course outcomes a variety of teaching and learning activities will be provided

to students such as weekly title pages, phone/e-mail contact with teachers and Single Course Days. The title

pages outline the teaching and learning activities the students will need to attempt each week. In general

one title page in each subject each week should be returned to their teachers.

Camden Haven High School Distance Education monitors students’ engagement in teaching and learning

activities. Failure to keep up a satisfactory engagement in learning is likely to jeopardise their ability to meet

the requirements for the award of the RoSA.

A condition of continued enrolment with distance education is that work will be returned regularly. Contact

the distance education school if you are concerned about students meeting these requirements because we

want to help them complete their schooling successfully.

2. Supervision of Students

Students require adult guidance and it is the Supervisor’s responsibility to provide adequate supervision and

support. A checklist of responsibilities is included at the end of this booklet for you to refer to easily.

3. Record of Receipt and Return of Work

A record of work received by you in each subject for each student and of title pages returned to Camden

Haven High School Distance Education for correction is essential.

You are able to do this in digital format by using the Camden Haven High School Distance Education

Management System (DEMS) powered by Millennium. Alternatively you could choose to keep a school based

written record. DEMS is accessed by the following URL address:

https://de.millenniumschools.net.au/

This requires a user name and password. The DEMS user name is the school name abbreviation and the

password is individualised for each school and supervisor.

Jana Hartmann, Single Course Enrolments, will be able to help you to access and successfully use DEMS. We

can also email step by step instructions.

4. Provision of suitable study area

Schools are required to provide a suitable and supervised area for the students to complete their distance

education work. Where students require access to specialist rooms for the completion of work in relevant

subjects, such as Visual Arts, the school must facilitate this in a timely manner and allow for adequate

supervision.

Study areas need to allow for technology use, access to a phone and reference/text books. A full list of

textbooks required can be found on our web page.

Quiet spaces must be provided for all examinations and tasks to be completed under exam conditions.

Students will need to use their school-based email address for communication with their teachers. Phone

access is vital, particularly for students studying Languages, as phone lessons are timetabled for each student.

https://de.millenniumschools.net.au/

of 21

5. Allocation of time

It is imperative that students are timetabled the correct number of periods for their distance education

subjects. You must ensure that students use this allocated time for the completion of their distance education

work. If a student uses these as “free” periods or homework periods for other subjects they will fall behind

in their distance education school work.

6. Supporting students

Single course students need to have certain skills including self-motivation, good organisational and

communication skills as well as the ability to work independently. At times they will require support from

you to ensure they are utilising these skills effectively in the completion of their distance education work.

7. Communication

Communication between the distance education teacher, student, home school and parent/carer is vital for

a successful distance education schooling experience.

Students should be in the regular habit of contacting their teachers to discuss their course work, progress

and any problems that need clarification.

To enable students to access activities organised by the distance education school please ensure

parents/carers are provided with the necessary permission notes and return them when complete to the

distance education school.

As single course supervisor you need to ensure the communication of information regarding the student

from the home school and parent/carer is also communicated to the distance education school so that we

are kept informed of the students’ context.

An unsatisfactory rate of return will result in NESA warning letters being sent. These will need to be

communicated effectively to the student, parent/carer and home school personnel such as year adviser and

distance education supervisor. This can help facilitate the student redeeming the outstanding work as quickly

as possible.

8. Assessment

Assessment task notifications are sent to students and supervisors via e-mail and can be accessed on

Millennium. It is very important that you pay close attention to the assessment task notification. Please read

the notification carefully to determine the nature of the task so that you are able to provide all required

resources and support the student may require for the task. Also pay close attention to the due date and

highlight this to the student.

The separate assessment task cover page must be attached to the completed assessment task and you must

sign to indicate that the student has completed the assessment task and that the work is their own.

If the assessment task is an examination or to be completed under examination conditions the assessment

task will arrive in a sealed envelope to ensure the integrity of the task is maintained. You will need to tear

the assessment task notification title page off the envelope and issue to the student, and then store the exam

paper securely until the date and time of the task. Once the exam or task is completed it should be placed

back in the envelope and returned to the distance education centre.

It is advised to keep a copy of the completed examination at the home school. The supervisor’s certificate on

all tasks must be signed, otherwise the task is considered invalid.

of 21

9. Examinations and tasks to be completed under exam conditions

Examinations are a regular feature of the Camden Haven High School Distance Education assessment

procedures. Students across all years will be expected to complete exams in a range of subjects.

In Stage 5 this is most often a yearly exam during Term 4. However students in Year 11 and 12 will have more

tasks required to be completed under exam conditions and these are clearly outlined in the assessment

schedules provided in the assessment policy booklet.

For all examinations or tasks to be completed under exam conditions all students must be supervised for the

full length of the exam or task by the supervisor.

10. Cessation of Enrolment

Supervisors must inform Camden Haven High School Distance Education in writing when a student changes

to another school or when the enrolment is to be ceased. All resources must be returned without delay to

the distance education school. Printed units of work may be kept as part of the student’s work record which

will be useful to future teachers and/or employers. Please find included in this booklet a proforma “Single

Course leaver” for you to fax or e-mail to the distance education school notifying of leavers.

Supporting Students with Technology

Student Portal and email

Every student enrolled at Camden Haven High School is given an account by the NSW Department of

Education and Communities to access their school email accounts and to access the internet when they are

at school. Students are encouraged to use this email account for all correspondence with their teachers. If

you have a DEC account from a previous government high school then you will be able to use this at our

school. This can be accessed from:

https://student.det.nsw.edu.au/

If you do not know what your account username and password is then you can contact your teacher or call

ITD help on 1800 338 483.

eLearning

Camden Haven High School uses Canvas, a learning management system, to deliver online lessons. This can

be accessed from:

www.camdenhaven.instructure.com

If Canvas is part of your course you will be sent a welcome letter by your teacher outlining how to log on.

Supervisors are also given a login to track student progress. If you have any problems, contact your teacher.
